So Pay attention to times.

in-cred-ible journey. worth the time invested watching
I may have been wrong about the channel for Lyndon Poskitt's daily vlog.
It appears it is at his channel; Lyndon Poskitt Racing.
I have the DVR set and will be rooting for this one as usual

the Dakar 2018 app is also available. it has worked well for me in the past, lots of info.
WOW! That's a really nice photo of a neck brace.
I'm with you Fletch. The best rider in the race..... bar none.
Any Africa twins racing?

Id happily take riding lessons from her.
I'm rooting for veterans Svitko and Pain.
Toby Price I think is the favorite to win.
I would like to see Joan Bereda do well this year. He has had back luck, mostly through no fault of his own.
No Africa Twins. The rally is now limited to 450 cc these days. Long gone are the days of the big bikes.
Rooting for Brabec as well, since he's an American and all. I also think he has a chance to do well as long as he keeps his head on straight.
I agree
This video shows how brutal and unpredictable the Dakar can be.
watched the coverage of stage one last night, don't remember his name but one of the bike guys broke a vertebrae in the first mile! that's bad luck..
I think this was the guy. Man that looks like it really hurt.
yep, that was the guy.. makes me sweat just watching it.
Bad news for KTM at the end of stage 4. could this year be the end of their 16 (?) year winning streak? or.....
Wasn't a good day for KTM, going from 4+ minute lead to 5:23 back.
But there's still a blue KTM in 2nd place. ;D

Yes, I watched that some time back...
12th cancelled and 2 stages left. Kinda looking like KTM will win another Dakar. Honda must be cursed or something.
I suppose the impossible could happen, Walkner and Price both crash out.
#100 is a BA dude. Cool look at the dakar much more the malle class.
The most recent episode he walked over to the KTM truck, called it the supermarket and had an account by race number. 500 euro later had a chain sproket and brake lever plus some brake cleaner and hardware. Awesome stuff.
